Abstract
From Newbery Medalist Lynne Rae Perkins, this effervescent story introduces two sisters-Alix and Jools-and takes readers on an unforgettable journey to the beach. In the style of the author's acclaimed Nuts to You, this is a joyful celebration of sisters, family, and the ocean. Fans of Kate DiCamillo's Raymie Nightingale and Rebecca Stead's Liar and Spy will love this engaging family story. Alix and her sister, Jools, have never seen the ocean. When their parents pack them up for a week at the shore, Alix is nervous about leaving home, but excited, too.
